    Generalized Hypergeometric Function

    Definition

    The generalized hypergeometric function is given by a hypergeometric series, i.e., a series for which the ratio of successive terms can be written c_(k + 1)/c_k = (P(k))/(Q(k)) = ((k + a_1)(k + a_2)...(k + a_p))/((k + b_1)(k + b_2)...(k + b_q)(k + 1)). (The factor of k + 1 in the denominator is present for historical reasons of notation.) The resulting generalized hypergeometric function is written sum_(k = 0)^∞ c_k x^k | = | _p F_q[a_1, a_2, ..., a_p b_1, b_2, ..., b_q;x] | = | sum_(k = 0)^∞ ((a_1)_k (a_2)_k ...(a_p)_k)/((b_1)_k (b_2)_k ...(b_q)_k) x^k/(k!), where (a)_k is the Pochhammer symbol or rising factorial (a)_k congruent (Γ(a + k))/(Γ(a)) = a(a + 1)...(a + k - 1).
